California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Moore, B220062 (Cal. App. 2011):
9. Inasmuch as we have found no prosecutorial misconduct or evidentiary error, we reject defendant's contention that cumulative error deprived him of his right to a fair trial. (Cf. People v. Hill, supra, 17 Cal.4th at p. 847; People v. Cuccia (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 785, 795.)
